Congress will have to repeal the trademark law or the companies who want information will have to pay the copyright fees in order for the information to be made public. 99% of the repairs, except some electrics, can be made by any intelligent technician with mechanical aptitude. I work for a dealer and find that most repairs do not require the codes and/or access to the system to complete. It costs the dealer a ton of money to train us, which means we might not get that next raise. Why should the information be available to the general public for free when it costs the dealer? Don't think the dealer doesn't have to pay for access to the information, then they have to train the techs, supply the equipment,ie laptops, testers, cables. And for some of us, if we don't have it on our trucks, we won't have access for at least 24 hours, or drive two hours one way to the shop.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
